Because they can? Capitalism, and so on.

They can also easily change their pricing when there’s a higher demand or any other whim.

The are all awesome! What is everyone using for launcher/icons, etc?

I think there’s a difference between state-owned and state-funded.

I think I heard Spain is the largest producer?

I don’t like Apple, but I like Macs. Obviously macos is better than Windows, but it’s also Linux without the time spent figuring out why something isn’t working.

I say that as someone who’s had a go with Linux a lot over the years, but for a daily work machine I need the reliability.

They can piss off with their iClouds and iOS stuff though.

Its not FOSS but if you need a work alterative to GIMP I use Photopea a lot. Works as a PWA too.

I’ve been using design software for over 25 years; Photoshop has been there for the majority but I’ve often tried coming back to GIMP here and there, but it’s never grabbed me in a useable way.

It’s funny, I did decide to read the books before watching the show. I’m about 6 episodes in and think it’s very good. I think they actually improved the books in many ways.

I don’t know if people just have a nostalgia for something they haven’t read in a long time (sorry not having a go at you!) or they genuinely like some really not-great aspects of the books that are a victim of their time.

The fact they changed a bunch of characters genders actually works - too many crusty old white (assuming) dudes that doesn’t work nowadays. Making Gaal a more rounded character to tell a story they apparently write in the book makes a lot more sense.

I hate right-handed mice.

I don’t like pickles as slices, but I dice them up small in my burger sauce and they work nicely.

I’ve been using cal.com for a while and it’s pretty good. I think you can self host it too.

Oh wow I haven’t thought about Thomann and Harley Bentons in years!

There are lots of Big Things! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_things_(Australia)

I ran it recently on the latest iMac with no issues.

The difference is countries that vote for parties vs voting for an individual. I don’t know why anyone would think one person would have the best interests of the country at heart.

Yeah I’m an older millennial and there are things I don’t have in common with younger ones.

Kamala just slips in as a boomer technically, by like a year or something.

I thought millennials started at '82?

Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for but I use https://photopea.com a lot, I didn’t need Photoshop enough to pay for it and this is a very good alternative. It’s a website but everything happens on your local machine.

On my iPad I also use Respite for pixel art since Aseprite doesn’t have an iPad version.

Is he holding one of these?

We call it a sausage sizzle (democracy sausage at voting time) and they’re delicious 🤤
